Since 1878, Kailuan Tangshan Mine has been mining coal in this area for more than 130 years, which has gradually formed a coal mining subsidence area of nearly 30 square kilometers. After the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, this place gradually became an abandoned land for urban garbage, fly ash and coal gangue. In 1996, the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government included the comprehensive management of the southern mining subsidence area in the practical project. In 2007, in line with the construction purpose of "turning waste into treasure, turning disadvantages into advantages, turning decay into magic, improving the environment, restoring the ecology, and improving the quality", the original subsidence pit was used to expand and transform the lake, plant trees, flowers and grass around the lakeshore, pave roads, and build a city park of initial scale. On March 1, 2008, the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government made a major decision to develop and build the Nanhu Ecological City. After more than a year of development and construction, plus the foundation laid in the previous decade, the Nanhu Ring Road has reached 22.5 kilometers, and a large number of trees, shrubs, aquatic plants, and ground cover plants have been planted, forming a huge urban "green lung".

From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, Nanhu Ecological Scenic Area can be interpreted as the embodiment of "harmony between man and nature". In Taoist philosophy, nature and man are interdependent and coexist harmoniously. The mountains, waters, vegetation, animals, and natural landscapes of Nanhu Lake, which change with the seasons, are all gifts from nature, reflecting the endless life and cycle of nature. When people visit Nanhu Lake, they are not only enjoying the beautiful scenery, but also experiencing close contact with nature, feeling the tranquility and harmony of nature, so as to purify their hearts and sublimate their spirits. This experience coincides with the state of "harmony between man and nature" pursued in Eastern philosophy. From the perspective of Western philosophy, Nanhu Ecological Scenic Area can be interpreted as the embodiment of "philosophy of beauty" and "ecological ethics". In Western aesthetics, natural beauty is regarded as an independent aesthetic category. The natural landscape of Nanhu Lake, such as the clear water, the undulating mountains, and the lush vegetation, are all concrete manifestations of natural beauty. When people appreciate these beautiful views, they are not only enjoying visual pleasure, but also experiencing an aesthetic experience that transcends daily life. This experience can inspire people's pursuit of beauty and love of life. At the same time, the protection and management of Nanhu Ecological Scenic Area also reflects the ecological ethics in Western philosophy. Ecological ethics emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and believes that humans have the responsibility to protect the natural environment and maintain ecological balance. The ecological protection measures of Nanhu Scenic Area, such as limiting the number of tourists, prohibiting pollution, and protecting wild animals and plants, are all practices of the concept of ecological ethics, reflecting human respect for nature and maintenance of ecological balance. In summary, whether from the perspective of "harmony between man and nature" in Eastern philosophy or "philosophy of beauty" and "ecological ethics" in Western philosophy, Nanhu Ecological Scenic Area has profound philosophical connotations and is a vivid portrayal of the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.
